FRONT FOG LAMP
NOTE:Turn the steering wheel to the right if replac-
ing the left front fog lamp or to the left if replacing the
right front fog lamp to allow for easier access to the
front of the wheel well.
1.
Remove the fasteners retaining the front lower wheel
well access panel and remove the access panel.
2. Remove the electrical connector from the fog lamp housing. (fig. 179)
3. Firmly grasp the bulb by the two side latches and squeeze them together to unlock the bulb from the
back of the front fog lamp housing. 4. Pull the bulb straight out from the keyed opening in
the housing.
5. Align the index tabs of the replacement front fog lamp bulb with the slots in the collar of the bulb
opening on the back of the front fog lamp housing.
Do not touch the new bulb with your
fingers. Oil contamination will severely
shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in
contact with an oily surface, clean the bulb with
rubbing alcohol.
6. Insert bulb into the lamp housing until the index tabs are engaged in the slots of the collar.
7. Firmly and evenly push the bulb straight into the lamp housing until both side latches lock firmly into
place.

lever forward.
6. Move the shift lever to the NEUTRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the shift lever override access cover.FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it
can often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear the area around
the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
DRIVE and REVERSE (with automatic transmission) or
2nd gear and REVERSE (with manual transmission),
while gently pressing the accelerator. Use the least
amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain
the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels or
racing the engine.
NOTE: Press the "ESC Off" switch, to place the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in
"Partial Off" mode, before rocking the ve-
hicle. Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in
“Knowing Your Vehicle” for further informa-
tion. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the "ESC
Off" switch again to restore "ESC On" mode.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to pre-
vent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and
other equipment designed for this purpose, following
equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety
chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing
device to main structural members of the vehicle, not
to bumpers or associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters,
etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC position.
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, refer to "Shift Lever
Override" in this section for instructions on shifting the
automatic transmission out of PARK for towing.
•Do not use sling type equipment when
towing. Damage to the fascia will occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension
components. Damage to your vehicle may result
from improper towing.
• Do not push or tow this vehicle with another
vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-
mission may result .
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the
ignitionswitchmustbeintheACCorON/RUN
position, not in the LOCK/OFF position. WITHOUT THE KEY FOB
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the OFF position. Flatbed towing is
the preferred towing method. However, if a flatbed
towing vehicle is not available, wheel lift towing equip-
ment may be used. Rear towing (with the front wheels
on the ground) is not allowed, as transmission damage
will occur. If rear towing is the only alternative, the
front wheels must be placed on a towing dolly. Proper
towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) MODELS
The manufacturer requires towing with all four wheels
OFF
the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the
vehicle on a flatbed, or with one end of vehicle raised
and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or power transfer unit
damage. Damage from improper towing is not cov-
ered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
